Hey, it's your friend David Pierce here.

Just wanted to let you know that our new season of version history is launching today, and we're dropping the first episode in the Vergecast feed. This is one of my favorite episodes of this whole season. A true delight to make, and I think you're going to enjoy it. But before we get into it, I have a big favor to ask. We just split version history off into its own YouTube channel. And if you've ever launched a new YouTube channel from scratch, it's awful.

It's hard out there for a new channel.

So please, if you like the show, if you like us, if you just want me to stop begging you to do this, please subscribe to the podcast.

It's at version history podcast.

We'll link to it in the show notes. Please subscribe. You're going to get clips. We have huge plans for what we're going to do with this channel. So please subscribe. Also, frankly, the show is just beautifully shot, and we're very proud of the way that it looks. Go check it out. Thank you, and please enjoy version history. Let me pitch you on a toy. Morning.

It doesn't do very much.

It just kind of makes noises.

But it doesn't make noises that you understand,

and you don't really have any control over them,

and it will at some point wake up in the middle of the night and terrify you and everyone you love.

It's small, it's furry, and I promise you're going to love it.

From the Verge and Vox Media, this is version history, a show about the best and worst and

most important products in tech history.

I'm David Pierce, and on this episode, we are, of course, talking about Furby.
